Facebook and Twitter took down a wave of political manipulation


Facebook and Twitter have been sharing notes on fake accounts tied to Iran that have been trying to manipulate political thought around the world, leading to another wave of takedowns by the social-media sites.

Facebook said it removed 783 pages, groups and accounts linked to Iran that were attempting to manipulate political discussions about current events, like the Israel-Palestine conflict and the wars in Syria and Yemen. The company said Thursday that the accounts and page administrators typically represented themselves as locals in at least 26 countries, including Iraq, Israel, Afghanistan and the U.S., but posted messages that repeated the content of Iranian state media.

Kondomeriet: Foodporn

Kondomeriet, Norways No. 1 adult store, celebrates 30 years of bringing lust and naughtiness to Norwegians. This calls for a celebration! The only problem is that in Norway, media laws often prohibits companies like Kondomeriet from showcasing their products in advertising.

So in order to get the message out and the commercial on air, we have to use metaphores, and let the audience make the connections in their own naughty minds.
